    Well to answer your question of which I like to eat more of, I fee sluggish when I have like a lunch with a lot of fat in it like a grilled cheese and some salad on the side (this is cheat days meal) but I fee fine eating 200g carbs for a meal. I am trying to bulk and cut down belly fat at the same time for abs. I am lifting heavy at the gym if that helps. The way I have my macros setup looks like this.

    Calorie intake - 2754
    Carbohydrates - 52% 361g
    Protein - 25% 170g
    Fat - 23% 70g

    Am I looking like I'm on the right path now?

    You can't really bulk and cut at the same time... recomp?

    you need to re-examine your goals...if you bulk you are not going to cut down on belly fat...best case scenario you gain two pounds a month and one pound of that is fat and the other is muscle...

    you can run a recomp where you lose some body fat and gain some muscle...but that involves eating at maintenance for about six months...

    Protein bar, egg whites, loads of egg whites to be exact, meat specially chicken breast, and sometimes if needs be a protein shake too, and I am almost always over my protein needs. not 170 grams, but 135-140.
